Listen: Black Leopard - "Untouchable" -- Obscure Sound
Another moody rock success from Hamburg, Germany-based project Black Leopard, “Untouchable” pairs themes of personal detachment with an atmospheric sound that excels in both nostalgic synth haunts and twangy guitar delights. “It’s summer and I love her, and she loves me too,” a smitten vocal presence lets out initially as the guitars and synths mingle cohesively, and into an admission that “but I’m always on the dark side of the moon.” The track continues to consume in its introspective lyrical appeal, admitting “I know I could easily reach happiness” though describing a mental blockade of sorts — that results in
Feature: Stephen Foster - 'Sun to Rise' EP -- Obscure Sound
Santa Cruz-based singer-songwriter Stephen Foster captivates on his new EP, Sun to Rise, with a sound that spans from the title track’s radiant folk/rock cohesion to the eerily haunting nostalgia of his take on “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” Consistent throughout is a knack for inviting, emotionally resonating songwriting, often with enjoyable shades of Elliott Smith. The EP’s opening title track enamors with a hypnotic, melodic glow — consuming with a mixture of hazy acoustic strums, twangy guitar touches, and harmonious vocals; the result sounds like an enjoyable cross between Elliott Smith and Teenage Fanclub. Foster sings amidst the layered guitar work,
Listen: Carl Hauck - "Monumented" -- Obscure Sound
Chicago-based songwriter Carl Hauck unveils an affecting folk sound on “Monumented,” appealing across both sparse acoustic-set introspection and soaring multi-layered vocal expanses. The latter’s beauty comes in the “oh, to be monumented someday too” sequence, where Kelsey Wild’s serenely melodic vocals bolster Hauck’s calmly effective tone. Lush keys pair with a steady rhythmic backing alongside the caressing acoustic guitars, reminding fondly of Sufjan Stevens in the dynamic tones, especially upon the glimmering effect past the three-minute turn. The result is a thoroughly consuming production, which also features multi-instrumentalist Jake Hawrylak, in addition to Hauck on vocals, guitar, and piano. The
Listen: Lavallette - "80s Love" -- Obscure Sound
A retrowave pop appeal shines on Lavellette’s “80s Love,” embracing a hook-filled, nostalgic production. The NJ-based artist, deriving the project’s name from a small town on the Jersey Shore, exudes a sense of starry-eyed yearning throughout — kickstarted by a shimmering synth pad and “late night on the boardwalk” lyrical scene-setting. “What can I do?” the vocals push forward as moody guitar twangs and retro rhythms immerse, pining for that “80s love” and a loving embrace in general. “Give me a chance at that 80s love,” the pining continues, set amidst a magnetic, replay-inducing synth-pop production. “80s Love” is an
